Do the planets align too?
 

Stolen from thesneeze.com:

This Wednesday night, shortly after 1 AM, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. If you can't stay awake for that one, catch the repeat that afternoon.

:cool:

If he really wanted to entertain us, he'd eat something gross at both times.

Personally, this pseudo event bores me.

Nothing can compare to the gloriousness that was 1:23:45 p.m. on June 7, 1989 (or 1:23:45 6/7/89). It was only improved for having happened in the middle of the second-year chemistry class I was teaching at the time. The geek-out quotient was very high that hour.

I don't remember much of 1989. What the hell was I doing then?

I think 01:02:03 04/05/06 is much cleaner than 01:23:45 06/07/89 -- although since I prefer the day month year format I'm waiting for May 4th.

I'm most looking forward to 11:11:11 on 11/11/11.

Nope, Alex's example rules. Using all possible digits is the max, baby.

Wouldn't 12:34:56 on 7/8/90 be the maximum? Although I guess the zero could be place at the beginning of Alex's.

I guess in the UK it would had to have been on July 6th, 1989 to do 1:23:45 6/7/89. They do dd/mm/yy.

Yes, I'd say it is almost as good (though slightly odd to have the 0 at the end), but most importantly is that it would be in the middle of summer vacation. Notable moments during the summer don't count since hardly anyone is around.

And I just realized how solidly I had blended memories together. In '89 I was in the second-year chemistry class. I taught it in '91. But we still geeked out about it.

Did you celebrate Mole Day too?

It looks like Mole Day only goes back to 1991 so apparently I missed the opportunity.

We had a Mole Day party in AP Chem this year. It was quite a bit of fun. We made molerific molecakes (to put it in my Chem teacher's words).

I think the 1989 one was the only one that mattered too, but at least this thread (unlike similar ones on other boards I frequent) hasn't degenerated into one of those general number-patterns-observation-fests that inevitably results in a predictable snore-fest on the topic of six-hundred and sixty-six. I actually volunteered to slaughter a chicken and examine its entrails on another board where that happened, I was so peeved. *snorts*

Anyway, um, thanks for this not being that.

A friend of mine used to have a street address of 667. She always said she was the neighbor of the beast.

Wasn't there some album called 668 Neighbor of the Beast? Sounds familiar.

Edit: It was called '665 Neighbor of the Beast' by a metal band called Radiobaghdad. :D
